Instructions
- Prepare the ham and green onion. Dice the onion and put in a small container until ready to use. Dice the ham into bite-sized pieces and place in a container until ready to use.
- Begin melting 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan. Add the ham and the green onions - saving about a tablespoon of the green onions to add as a garnish and for fresh onion taste at the end. Cook a few minutes until caramelized. Remove from the pan and put in a container until ready for the use.
- In the same pan, begin melting the next tablespoon of butter. While that is melting. Crack open the eggs in a bowl and whisk with a fork. when the butter is melted, add the eggs to the pan.
- When the eggs are a good half cooked, it is time to flip them. Wait to flip the eggs until the center does not have much raw egg left. It will be so much easier to flip and have the entire egg mixture stay intact. If you are concerned that the center of your eggs are not cooking, you can push the edges of the egg to the center a bit and tilt the pan in the direction where you pushed your eggs. This will help the uncooked egg run onto the skillet heating surface. Work around the pan in a few placed doing this until the omelet is cooked enough to be flipped.
- Once flipped, add the fillings to one side of the eggs. In this case, it is the smoked ham and cooked green onion. Add part of the shredded cheese here too.
- Fold the eggs with no fillings on it over the side that has fillings on it. Cook just a minute more to get the fillings heated through again. Use a spatula and tilt the pan to slide the omelet out onto a serving plate.
- Sprinkle on the rest of the green onions and cheese and the diced tomato. Enjoy
